The 2022 FIFA World Cup semi-final line-up will be complete after this evening’s last quarter-final tie between England and France.

Kick-off at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor is at 19:00 GMT.

Les Bleus are the bookies’ favourites to qualify (around 4/5 compared to 11/10 shots England), with the winner of this match set to face surprise packages Morocco on Wednesday.

As for the team news, it’s as straightforward as it comes.

The two sides are unchanged from their respective round-of-16 wins, both of which were ultimately comfortable in nature.

Raheem Sterling is back on the bench after briefly returning home to the UK earlier this week following a break-in at his home.

Six members of Gareth Southgate’s starting XI have double-digit ownerships in FIFA World Cup Fantasy, with Bukayo Saka being the most popular on 43.3%.

Only three starters in Didier Deschamps’ squad are in 10% or more of Fantasy squads, with Kylian Mbappe – who sits in almost exactly two-thirds of teams – by far and away the most selected.

MATCHDAY 5 LINE-UPS

England XI: Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw, Rice, Bellingham, Henderson, Kane, Saka, Foden.

France XI: Lloris, Kounde, Varane, Upamecano, T. Hernandez, Griezmann, Tchouameni, Rabiot, Dembele, Giroud, Mbappe.

  France has been celebrating and laughing at Southgate picking .ickford over better (and taller) goalkeepers. It's a pity, but there is one Gareth to blame for that goal.

  Of course. It was an obvious foul.
  They even reviewed it...
  
  England highlights were used in
  a referee briefing before the tournament, so this isn't a surprise.
  
  Taking the knee and the whole armband fiasco has ramifications.

There needs to be a reform in the way we do refereeing in terms of the competencies the referees must have.

They are currently closer to the profession of a policeman than a judge or advocate, when they need to be the latter.

That was a clear penalty, the touch happened inside, but Kane’s foot was still at the initial time of the contact outside the area. Still, the contact happened inside or on the line, and should’ve been given as a penalty.
